forms

I have been given the task of devising a custom forms manager that has a mysql backend.

The problem I have now encountered after setting up all the front end, is how to process a form that is dynamic.

For E.G

Form one could contain 6 fields all with different name attributes in the input tag. Form two could contain 20 fields all with different name attributes in the input tag.

How would i process the forms without using up oodles of resource.
